Description

  The present invention relates to an information terminal device, and more particularly to an information terminal device provided with a web browsing function and a date-related application.

  In recent years, mobile phone terminals have a wide variety of functions including not only the original call function but also e-mail transmission and reception and web browsing as communication applications using the data communication function, and a calendar function and schedule function as a date-related application. Multi-functionalization including functions has progressed, and many people have possessed it as a communication tool. Of these functions, functions other than the call function are also known as personal computer (PC) applications (however, as for the call function, an IP phone using an Internet protocol can be used recently on a PC. It has become to).

  Generally, in the calendar function, a calendar screen for displaying a date in a predetermined period unit such as a month unit or a week unit is prepared. In addition, it is possible to write and confirm the schedule for each date from the calendar screen. Thus, the calendar function and the schedule function are associated with each other.

  In Patent Document 1, in a portable information terminal having various functions as described above, a call origination restriction in a time zone corresponding to each schedule data is performed by a schedule application, or a call origination / incoming history is associated with the schedule data. Information is registered, a call failure record when a call is not established after a call origination operation, or a transmission failure record when an e-mail operation fails is newly registered as ToDo data for prompting the next telephone call or next mail transmission. A technique for displaying on a display screen is disclosed.

  Web browsing is performed from a terminal according to an http protocol by an application called a browser. That is, by sending a request specifying a URL from the terminal to the server, receiving various files such as document files and images described in a markup language such as html from the server, and generating screen information from these files , Display and browse web pages. A normal browser is provided with a so-called bookmark function, and when the user wants to browse the page next time by storing the URL as a bookmark (bookmark) in the terminal. By selecting a bookmark, you can immediately go to that page.

  In Patent Literature 2, a homepage update guidance server sends an update content notification mail attached with a homepage update content list to the viewer for a homepage viewer, and the terminal side user who receives the update content notification mail Thus, a technique for inducing access to the update page is disclosed.

  In Patent Document 3, the URL is stored on the standby screen of the mobile phone terminal by a memo function so that the URL can be saved and the stored URL can be read, displayed, and connected quickly. Thereafter, the URL is displayed on the standby screen. A technique for displaying a screen memo in which a URL is written and connecting to the URL is disclosed.

Also, in recent mobile phone terminals, the contents (contents) of web pages that have been visited are stored locally in the terminal under the name of screen memos (or page memos), and thereafter, the contents are displayed and browsed offline. Those with functions that can be used are commercially available. (The “screen memo” referred to in the above-mentioned Patent Document 3 is a URL storage, not a content storage.)
JP 11-41369 A JP 2005-275778 A JP 2002-271475 A

  In the conventional technologies described in Patent Documents 2 and 3 in which a URL is registered as a bookmark, it is necessary to connect to the network and access the site whenever it is desired to browse the content of the URL. However, the mobile phone terminal may not be able to view the site immediately in a so-called out-of-service area or in an environment where the radio wave condition is poor. Also, online access usually costs a communication fee. Furthermore, when the content is updated, it may be impossible to view the content before the update.

  On the other hand, according to the “screen memo” function, the content is stored in the terminal, so that the content can be browsed locally (offline) thereafter. However, since each content to be stored is managed collectively, it is necessary to select from the screen memo list (screen memo list) when browsing. Therefore, there is a problem that it is not easy to find the target content. This problem becomes more prominent as the amount of stored content increases.

  The present invention has been made in such a background, and an object thereof is to provide an information terminal device and a computer program capable of relatively quickly and easily performing offline browsing of a web page provided via a network. There is.

An information terminal device according to the present invention includes a storage unit that stores content of an arbitrary URL in a predetermined format in association with at least a date, a display unit that displays information, and a continuous date within a unit period in the display unit. Identification display means for identifying and displaying the presence / absence of content stored in the storage unit in association with a date on an associated display format screen, and an operation unit for accepting an instruction to browse the stored content for a selected date And content display means for displaying the stored content that has received a browsing instruction on the display unit.
According to another aspect, an information terminal device according to the present invention is an information terminal device including a storage unit that stores information, a display unit that displays information, an operation unit that receives a predetermined operation, and a control unit. The control means has a function of storing the content of an arbitrary URL in the storage unit in a predetermined format in association with at least a date, and a screen in a display format associated with consecutive dates in a unit period in the display unit On the above, the presence or absence of content stored in the storage unit is identified and displayed in association with a date, and a calendar or scheduler function that receives a browsing instruction for the stored content with respect to a selected date from the operation unit; A function of displaying the stored content on the display unit based on a content browsing instruction is provided.
A computer program according to the present invention is a computer program that is executed in an information terminal device including a storage unit that stores information, a display unit that displays information, and an operation unit that receives a predetermined operation. And storing the content in the storage unit in a predetermined format in association with at least a date, and storing the content in the storage unit on a screen in a display format associated with consecutive dates within a unit period in the display unit. The presence / absence of the stored content is identified and displayed in association with the date, the browsing instruction of the stored content with respect to the selected date is received from the operation unit, and the stored content based on the content browsing instruction is And causing the computer to execute the step of displaying on the display unit. .

  As described above, by storing the contents in association with the date, the plurality of contents are classified in time series based on the date, and can be selected based on the date. In addition, by displaying the presence / absence of the stored content in association with a date on a screen in a display format associated with consecutive dates within a unit period, the stored content for each date in calendar display or the like The presence or absence of can be recognized instantly. Further, by receiving an instruction to browse the stored content for the selected date and displaying the stored content that has received the browsing instruction, the user can select the stored content by selecting a date. Can do.

  The display format associated with consecutive dates within the unit period is, for example, an arbitrary display format of a calendar or a scheduler.

  In the information terminal device, a registration unit for registering the URL of the content to be acquired, a communication unit for connecting to the site providing the content, and the content of the URL registered by the registration unit are automatically and periodically You may further provide the automatic acquisition means to acquire. As a result, the user registers the URL in advance, and the target content is automatically saved as a screen memo periodically. By regularly acquiring the content, even if the content is updated, the content before and after the update can be saved, so that it can be browsed offline.

  The registration unit can be activated from, for example, a browser screen, a schedule screen, or a calendar screen.

  The content display means is, for example, a browser activated by the operation unit.

  The predetermined format is, for example, a screen memo format or a data capture screen data format.

  The content stored in the screen memo format may include a link setting location for shifting to a linked page.

  According to the information terminal device of the present invention, content such as a web page provided via a network can be stored in association with a date, identified, displayed, and selected, so that the content can be browsed offline, Since it can be specified and extracted based on the date, the stored content can be browsed relatively quickly and easily.

  DESCRIPTION OF EXEMPLARY EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

  FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing a schematic configuration of an information terminal device 100 equipped with a browser that implements the markup language document display method of the present invention. (In this specification, an information terminal device is also simply referred to as an information terminal or a terminal.) Here, a mobile phone terminal is taken as an example of the information terminal device 100. However, the terminal of the present invention is not limited to this, and may include any device having various functions in the present embodiment. For example, it may be an arbitrary terminal having an online web browsing function (browser function), such as a PDA (Personal Digital Assistant), a car navigation device, a PC, and an Internet TV device.

  In FIG. 1, the control unit 101 includes a CPU, and realizes a web browsing function, a schedule function (including a calendar display function in the present embodiment), and the like in the present embodiment by program control, and controls the entire apparatus. To manage. The control unit 101 constitutes an identification display means, a content display means, a registration means, an automatic acquisition means, a capacity confirmation means, and a deletion means in the present invention together with other components as necessary.

  Storage unit 120 in the present embodiment includes ROM 121 and RAM 123. In addition, other storage devices such as a hard disk device may be included. The ROM 121 is a nonvolatile memory that stores various programs executed by the CPU of the control unit 101 and necessary data, and includes at least a rewritable area. The RAM 123 is a memory that provides a work area for the CPU and a temporary data storage area. The storage unit 120 also provides various storage areas described later.

  The operation unit 113 includes an arbitrary input device such as a keyboard, a mouse, and a touch panel, and has a function of receiving an instruction or data input from a user and transferring it to the control unit 101. In the example of the mobile phone terminal, the operation unit 113 usually includes a numeric keypad and various control keys (direction instruction key, determination key, power key, call end key, soft key, mail key, web key, etc.). The communication unit 115 is connected to a communication network wirelessly or by wire, and provides a communication function for accessing a website on the Internet and sending and receiving e-mails.

  The signal processing unit 102, under the control of the control unit 101, digitizes the voice input from the microphone 107 and delivers it to the control unit 101, converts the voice output data from the control unit 101 to analog and outputs it to the speaker 108, This is a part that performs various types of signal processing to exchange signals with an image processing unit 103, which will be described later, and can be configured by an LSI called FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) as an example.

  The image processing unit 103 has a function of receiving display data from the signal processing unit 102 and displaying the display data on a display unit 105 including an arbitrary display device such as a liquid crystal display (LCD) or an organic EL. The image processing unit 103 can be configured by a display LSI that supports graphic processing.

  An RTC (Real Time Clock) 117 is a chip that provides a clock for timekeeping. In the present embodiment, functions of a clock, calendar, and timer are realized by the control unit 101 based on this clock.

  FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a browser 130 that is an application program for browsing the web in the present embodiment, a scheduler 135 as an application that handles data associated with a date, and blocks related to various inputs and outputs for these. It is. The browser 130 is realized by software (computer program) executed by the control unit 101 in FIG. 1 in response to a user operation from the operation unit 113. The browser 130 acquires ML document data to be displayed from the communication unit 115 and the like, and passes it to an internal browser engine (described later). The ML document data can be acquired directly from the communication unit 115 or acquired from the cache data storage area. The browser engine converts the given ML document data into display data and outputs it to the display unit 105. The function of the browser engine will be described later. The browser 130 according to the present embodiment also has a function of creating an mht file as one type of a predetermined format, storing / reading it in a storage unit, and displaying it.

  The scheduler 135 is an application related to a date, and stores (stores) predetermined data such as a user's schedule and memorandum as schedule data 120c in the storage unit 120 corresponding to the date (and further corresponding to time). Further, in the present embodiment, the scheduler 135 displays a calendar display in a desired unit period such as a monthly unit, a bimonthly unit, a weekly unit, or the like based on the calendar data 120d stored in the storage unit 120 in advance. It can be carried out. In the present embodiment, the calendar display refers to a date in which consecutive dates within a unit period are arranged in a predetermined format. For each date, characters (including alphanumeric characters, symbols, etc.), images, etc. It does not matter whether a display (and input) area (including still images, moving images, icons, pictograms, etc.) is provided.

  In the present embodiment, the screen memo function 137 acquires content data of a specified web page as a screen memo in response to an instruction from the operation unit 113, an instruction from the browser 130, or an instruction from the scheduler 135, The screen memo data 120a is stored in the storage unit 120. Accordingly, screen memo management data 120b for managing the stored screen memo is stored in the storage unit 120. Screen memos can be acquired manually or automatically. In the case of automatic, the screen memo of the specified URL is periodically acquired according to the screen memo automatic acquisition condition list 120e set by the user for automatic acquisition of the screen memo.

FIG. 3 shows an internal configuration example of the screen memo management data 120b and the screen memo automatic acquisition condition list 120e among the various data shown in the storage unit 120 of FIG. In this example, the screen memo management data 120b includes, for each screen memo, “screen memo ID” that is identification information, “date and time” that indicates the acquisition date and time, and “screen memo title” that indicates the name of the screen memo. The URL of the screen memo is stored as a set. The screen memo ID is used by the control unit to uniquely manage each screen memo, and may be configured with, for example, a serial number. However, if the screen memo ID can be managed with other items, it is not an indispensable item. The screen memo title is information for the user to recognize individual screen memos, and can be given by the user at the time of automatic screen memo acquisition condition registration or screen memo acquisition. As a screen memo title, for example, a site name may be automatically acquired from the screen memo page. In addition, although not shown, the screen memo management data 120b may include data such as a flag indicating whether or not the screen memo data corresponding to the URL is actually stored in the storage unit. The screen memo management data 120b is shown in the data table format in the example of FIG. 3, but the actual data format is not limited to this, and is arbitrary.
The screen memo automatic acquisition condition list 120e includes “No.” as a serial number, “URL” of a web page for which automatic screen memo acquisition is desired, “screen memo title” as the title, and “start” as the start date and time of automatic acquisition. "Date and time", "Memo time" that is the acquisition time, "Repeat" that specifies whether to repeat, "Number of times" that specify the number of repetitions, and "End" when the period of automatic acquisition is limited It has a deadline.

  FIG. 4 shows more specifically an example of the contents stored (stored) in the storage unit 120 in the present embodiment.

  In this example, the storage unit 120 stores an operation program 420, a browser program 430, a mailer program 440, a scheduler program 450, and a screen memo program 460.

  The operation program 420 is software that supports the user performing various input operations of the user such as menu operations using the display unit 105 and the operation unit 113.

  The browser program 430 is software that implements the browser 130 of FIG. The browser program 430 includes a bookmark data storage area 431 for storing bookmark data, a history data storage area 432 for temporarily storing history data when browsing the web (URL sequence of the viewed page), and a page once visited when browsing the web A cache data storage area 433 for temporarily storing the contents of the file is used.

  The mailer program 440 is software for creating, transmitting / receiving, and managing e-mails, and includes a mail storage area 441 for storing mail transmission / reception data, management data, and the like.

  The scheduler program 450 is software used mainly for user schedule management, and has calendar data 451 (corresponding to 120d in FIG. 2) and uses the schedule data storage area 452. The schedule data storage area 452 stores the schedule data 120c of FIG.

  The screen memo program 460 is software for performing registration, acquisition (including automatic and manual), management, and display of “screen memo” in the present embodiment, and a screen for storing the screen memo data 120a (FIG. 2). Screen memo automatic acquisition conditions for storing a memo data storage area 461, a screen memo management data storage area 462 for storing screen memo management data 120b (FIG. 2), and a screen memo automatic acquisition condition list 120e for automatic acquisition of screen memos. A list storage area 463 is used.

  Screen memo data and cache data are common in that they are data representing the contents of a web page, but differ in the following respects. Acquisition of screen memo data is content that has been actively instructed to be acquired automatically or manually so that the user can view it offline later. Otherwise it will not be erased (however, there will be exceptions as described below). On the other hand, the cache data is data temporarily stored by the browser for the purpose of eliminating the waste of acquiring the same data as the content data once acquired by communication again. For example, when browsing back a page that has been traced once, the data stored in the cache data storage area 433 can be read and used without downloading the ML document data from the website again. Therefore, the cache data is not data for actively browsing offline, and there is no guarantee that the cache data will not be deleted until a later date. Further, the screen memo data does not necessarily have the same data format (file format) as the cache data. For example, the screen memo data may be a data format of a so-called capture screen obtained by acquiring the content display screen as an image, or a data format in which the link setting is validated. Such a data format file is called a Web archive file. The Web archive file is a file that can handle a Web page including an image as a single file. Since “.mht” is used for the extension, it is also called an mht file.

  FIG. 5 shows an internal configuration of the browser engine 213 as a main functional unit in the browser 130 shown in FIG. The browser engine 213 has functions of the parser 21, the page maker 23, and the formatter 25. The parser 21 interprets a logical structure of a markup language (ML) document to be displayed, and generates a document tree 22 related to the structure. Based on the document tree 22, the page maker 23 generates a layout tree 24 including information on the expression format (block, inline, table, list, item, etc.) determined by each tag. This layout tree 24 represents the order in which block, inline, table, etc. exist. However, the layout tree 24 does not yet include information relating to the layout such as where and in what width and height these elements are displayed on the screen, and where characters are folded. Based on the layout tree 24, the formatter 25 performs layout using information related to the actual display screen such as a known display screen width. That is, the layout tree 24 is arranged on the actual display screen, and the character wrapping and the position, width, and height on the screen are determined. Through such processing by the browser engine 213, the contents of the ML document are displayed on the display screen of the display unit 105.

  Hereinafter, the operation of the present embodiment will be described.

  FIG. 6 is a state transition diagram showing the mutual relationship of the main states of the terminals related to the present embodiment. Here, eight states 501 to 508 are shown.

  A state 501 is a standby state that is an initial state in which only a mobile phone terminal is waiting for an incoming call and no other special application is being executed.

  A state 502 is a main menu display state for selecting a plurality of main functions (applications) of the terminal, and can be shifted to and from the standby screen.

  A state 503 is a calendar display state of the scheduler, and can shift to and from the main menu display state 502. The state 503 can have a plurality of calendar display modes (January display, February display, week display, etc.) as calendar display states that can be switched to each other.

  A state 504 is a schedule display state for displaying an event of the scheduler, and can shift to and from the calendar display state 503.

  A state 505 is an automatic screen memo acquisition condition registration state for automatically acquiring and saving screen memos, and shifts between a calendar display state 503, a schedule display state 504, and a screen memo list state 506 described later. can do.

  A state 506 is a screen memo list state for displaying the screen memo list registered in the automatic screen memo acquisition condition registration. The state 506 can be shifted from the states 504 and 505, and can be further shifted to a state 507 described later.

  A state 507 is a screen memo display state of a browser that displays the contents (contents) of one screen memo selected in the screen memo list state 506.

A state 508 is a screen memo manual saving state for manually saving a screen memo.
Although not particularly shown, the mobile phone terminal can normally shift from any state to the standby state 501 by operating the power-off key.

  Next, an example of a display screen in the display unit 105 will be described.

  FIG. 7 shows a transition example of the display screen of the terminal related to the present embodiment. FIG. 7A shows a standby state screen (standby screen) of the mobile phone terminal. The user can select what to display on the standby screen, but the illustration is omitted here. In the present embodiment, it is assumed that the operation unit 113 (FIG. 1) includes a direction instruction key capable of instructing up, down, left, and right directions, a determination key (enter key), a key that can be used as a soft key, and the like. A strip-shaped three-divided display area 409 at the bottom of the screen in the figure is a guidance display area used to indicate functions assigned to the soft keys at that time.

  From the standby screen in FIG. 7A, it is possible to shift to the main menu screen in FIG. 7B by a predetermined operation (for example, an instruction of a menu key). Icons for selecting various functions of the terminal (camera, mail, browser, schedule, data folder, settings, etc.) are displayed on the main menu screen. When the cursor 404 is placed on the schedule icon in the main menu screen and the enter key is pressed, the screen shifts to the calendar screen (January) in FIG.

  From the standby screen in FIG. 7A, it is possible to shift to the calendar screen in FIG. 7C by a predetermined operation (here, pressing the enter key).

  The calendar screen (January) in FIG. 7C displays a calendar for one month including the current date (October 7, 2005 in this example). The cursor 401 in the calendar is for focusing on the date that the user pays attention, and is initially set on the current day, but can be moved by a user operation. For the date on which the received mail or screen memo is stored, an identification display (underlined here) 403 is displayed along with the date. In this calendar screen, an icon 411 (indicated here by “Web”) indicating that there is a screen memo for the day is received in the icon display area 410 (here, below the calendar display) in the display screen. Icon 412 indicating the presence of mail (indicated here by “mail”), icon 413 indicating the presence of ToDo data (to be done) (indicated by “task” here), and schedule contents An icon 414 (in this case, indicated by characters “ETC (other)”, “conference”, “business trip”) is displayed. In this specification, the icon is also a kind of “identification display”. Each time the user moves the cursor 401 and changes the date of interest, the icon displayed in the icon display area 410 changes according to the date. Accordingly, the user can immediately recognize whether there is a screen memo or received mail on that day, whether there is a schedule, or the like without having to open each day's schedule screen (described later).

  When a predetermined operation (in this case, the enter key is pressed) is performed on the calendar screen (January) in FIG. 7C, a schedule screen for the day on which the cursor 401 is hit (shown in FIG. 7D) ( 1 day) is displayed. This schedule screen can be switched between the “event list” and the “daily schedule” on the tab. In the “event list” screen, if there is a received mail of the day, a display to that effect (here, display of an icon and characters of “received mail”) is performed. If there is a screen memo saved on the current day, a display to that effect (here, display of an icon and characters of “received mail”) is performed. These are information automatically set by the terminal. In addition, if the user inputs memorandum and schedule contents, such information is also displayed. The “daily schedule” displays a more detailed hourly schedule for the current day, but since it is not directly related to the present invention, its details are not particularly shown. The schedule screen (one day) in the present invention may be in any format of “event list” and “daily schedule”, and is not limited to these formats.

  It is also possible to shift from the calendar screen in FIG. 7C to the calendar screen (week) in FIG. 8A by a predetermined operation (here, display switching from Menu). Furthermore, it is possible to shift from the calendar screen (week) to a schedule screen (one day) of the selected date (same as FIG. 7D) as shown in FIG. 8B. Also on the calendar screen (week) of FIG. 8A, icons 411, 412, 413, 414) and the like as described above are shown in the area 415 of each date.

  With the identification display 406 with “screen memo” on the schedule screen (1 day) in FIG. 7D selected (shown here in reverse video), a predetermined operation (here, pressing the enter key) As a result, the screen shown in FIG.

  FIG. 9A is a screen that displays a list of screen memos for a specified date. When the user selects one screen memo and performs a predetermined operation (in this case, <Show> instruction using the enter key), the browser is activated. The browser reads the stored content of the screen memo from the storage unit 120 and displays it as a browser screen as shown in FIG. In the browser screen, when there is a link setting location 425 called an anchor point, the user can move to a link destination page by instructing the link. Furthermore, if the destination page (contents) is to be saved as a screen memo, the menu screen shown in FIG. 9D is displayed in accordance with a predetermined operation (here, the <Menu> soft key instruction), and the menu item “ “Screen Memo” is selected, and if “Screen Memo Save” is selected from the submenu of FIG.

  Here, as a method for saving the screen memo from the browser, the case where the screen memo list in FIG. 9A is changed to the browser in FIG. 9B has been described, but FIG. 9 ( d) Transition to FIG. 9 (e) is possible. In the submenu screen of FIG. 9E, it is possible to shift to “screen memo list” and “automatic screen memo acquisition condition registration” (described later) in addition to saving screen memos.

  In the screen memo list screen of FIG. 9A, the menu screen of FIG. 9C is displayed by a predetermined operation (in this case, an instruction of the <Menu> soft key). In this menu screen, menu items include “Edit Title” to edit the title of the selected screen memo, “Delete” to delete the screen memo, and prevent or cancel the deletion of the screen memo. "Protect / Cancel protection" for canceling, "Cancel all protection" for canceling all protection at once, and "Auto screen memo acquisition condition registration for automatically acquiring and saving screen memos" Is prepared.

  When “automatic screen memo acquisition condition registration” is selected, the automatic screen memo acquisition condition registration screen of FIG. 10 is displayed. This screen displays a list of site information (here, site names) consisting of already registered URLs or their site names. When the <Menu> soft key is designated on this screen, the menu screen in FIG. 10B is displayed. This menu screen has menu items of “New” for newly registering automatic screen memo acquisition conditions and “Delete” for deleting existing automatic screen memo acquisition condition registration. When “new” is selected, the screen shifts to a registration screen of “new automatic screen memo acquisition condition” in FIG. This registration screen corresponds to the screen memo automatic acquisition condition list 120e shown in FIG. 3B, and “URL”, “screen memo title”, and automatic acquisition start date / time of the web page for which automatic screen memo acquisition is desired. “Start date and time”, acquisition time “memo time”, “repetition” designating the presence / absence of repetition, and “number of times” designating the number of repetitions. This screen shows an example of acquisition once a day, but this screen can be modified so that acquisition can be performed at other frequencies, such as multiple times a day, every few days, or once a week. Alternatively, another screen may be selected.

  When the “URL” item is selected on the screen of FIG. 11A and the enter key is pressed, the menu screen of FIG. 11B is displayed. In this menu screen, “Browse Web Page” for finding a desired page from browsing a web page and acquiring the URL, “Input URL” for manually entering a URL, URL from among registered bookmarks Menu item for “bookmark” for selecting “browser” and “browser history” for selecting URL from browser history information.

  In the automatic screen memo acquisition condition registration screen shown in FIG. 10A, the user selects one of the site names and performs a predetermined operation (in this case, pressing the enter key), thereby editing the automatic screen memo shown in FIG. You can move to the screen. The selection in this case is shown to the user in a reverse display of the site name in the figure. In the screen of FIG. 12, the contents of the registered automatic screen memo acquisition conditions can be edited (corrected). The site name for which the automatic acquisition period has ended is shown to the user in a display form (here, gray display) 435 different from other site names. The automatic acquisition period is, for example, a period “until (date)” shown on the screen of FIG. It is also possible to resume automatic acquisition by “edit” after the automatic acquisition period ends.

  FIG. 13 shows an example of the processing procedure for screen memo acquisition in the present embodiment. As this premise, as shown in FIG. 10A, it is assumed that a screen memo is registered for at least one site. This process monitors whether or not a designated timing (for example, the date and time designated on the screen of FIG. 11) has arrived for any of the registered sites with the screen memo registration enabled. (S11). If the designated timing does not arrive, the process proceeds to step S15. When the designated timing arrives, the designated URL is accessed (S12). Next, the content of the URL is captured (downloaded) (S13). Therefore, this content is converted into a predetermined format and stored together with the date and time data at that time (S14). If there is a manual screen memo acquisition instruction from the user (S15, Yes), the process returns to step S13, and the content of the URL is captured and stored. If there is no manual screen memo acquisition instruction, the process returns to step S11 and the above process is repeated.

  Note that the screen memo cannot be additionally saved indefinitely due to the limitation of the storage capacity of the storage unit 120. When the free space of the storage unit 120 or the upper limit of the screen memo data storage area 461 is determined, the free space becomes smaller than a predetermined amount or saves a new screen memo according to the free space. When the memory capacity is expected to be insufficient, the user can be warned and solicited to delete at least a part of the stored screen memo data. Alternatively, in such a case, the control unit may obtain a user's permission and delete predetermined screen memo data (for example, data with an old storage date or data selected by the user). The “user permission” may be a format that is initially set in advance or may be a format that is inquired of the user each time. Further, “deletion of screen memo data” may or may not be accompanied by deletion of URL management data in the screen memo management data 120b. Either one of these may be fixedly used, or may be selected according to user settings. Even when the URL management data is not deleted, the user can manually delete the URL.

  FIG. 14 shows an example of a calendar display processing procedure in the present embodiment.

  First, calendar display as shown in FIG. 7C or FIG. 8A is performed (S21). In this calendar display, the numerical values constituting the date are displayed on the screen in a predetermined arrangement together with the day of the week. Further, the current date is focused by the cursor 401 or reverse display (S22). Next, the presence / absence of the screen memo for the focused date, the presence / absence of the received mail, and the contents of the schedule data are confirmed (S23), and the corresponding icons (411 to 414) and the identification display 403 are displayed (S24). . As shown in the calendar display of FIG. 8A, when there is a writing area for each date, at least a part of the schedule data is displayed there (S25).

  If there is a date change (S26, Yes), the process returns to step S22. If there is an instruction to change the calendar form (S27, Yes), the process returns to the first step S21. If there is an enter key instruction (S28, Yes), the screen shifts to the schedule screen (1 day) of the currently focused date (FIG. 7D) (S29). After shifting to the schedule screen (1 day), as described above, it is possible to return to the calendar screen by a predetermined operation.

  FIG. 15 shows an example of the processing procedure of the screen memo display.

  First, the schedule screen for the day (1 day) is displayed (S31). If there is an instruction of “screen memo” in this screen (S32, Yes), the screen memo list of the date is displayed (S33). If there is an instruction to select a screen memo (S34, Yes), the browser is activated to read out the selected screen memo data from the storage unit 120 and display it on the screen (S35). If there is a link setting location in this screen, it is possible to connect to the network and move to the linked page according to the instruction.

  According to the above embodiment, the usability of the screen memo is greatly improved by the organic combination of the calendar / scheduler and the screen memo. For example, the screen memo can be confirmed on both the scheduler and calendar screens. In addition, screen memos for different days on the date axis can be obtained and compared.

  The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described above, but various modifications and changes other than those mentioned above can be made. For example, although the calendar is shown as a part of the scheduler, the calendar display function may be independent of the scheduler.

  If the calendar display function and the screen memo function are associated with each other, the scheduler is not an essential function in the present invention.

  In addition, the browser and the scheduler are not necessarily activated separately. For example, when displaying a screen memo instructed to be displayed in the scheduler, the screen memo is created as one of the scheduler applications by creating display screen data using a part of the module function of the browser. (In this case, the browser itself is not started.)

  Furthermore, although the example which transfers to a screen memo list | wrist (FIG. 9 (a)) via a schedule screen (FIG. 7 (d)) from the calendar screen (FIG.7 (c), FIG.8 (a)) was shown, It may be possible to shift directly from the calendar screen to the screen memo list.
